....you might be a Runner IF
....when training on a treadmill, you always have to be at least 1MPH faster than the person to your left and/or to your right..
THIS. I don't care how fast they are going, or even if I don't even RUN that fast. Even if it's only for three ninutes, I NEED to be faster than the person on the other treadmill!!! :laugh:0 -
Okay, I'm trying to become a runner...
...I'm halfway to doing a 'baby race' as someone calls a 5K
...I DEFINITELY have more running shoes than heels
...I don't own ANY sports bras, are these required? maybe I could borrow one from my wife :laugh:
...I DO have the shoes that are only for running, nothing else
ROFL Love this:)0 -
You plan your first ever trip to Europe not to go sight seeing, but to participate in a Tough Mudder......
(England, 2013......and yes, I'll be getting the tattoo after I cross the finish line)

You are acutely aware of things like nipple chafing. And you're a guy.
You talk about nipple chafing to people. And they understand.
You get excited when new gu flavors are released. (peanut butter. Yum)
You have no idea how many miles you have on your car, but you know how many you've run in each pair of shoes.
You have very strong opinions on socks.0 -
You see someone running while you are riding in your car and wish it was you.
(all the time)
I think I actually pouted when I saw people running while I had my stress fracture. :frown:0 -
Ha, awesome!you might be a runner if you rather buy running shoes than high heels!!0

Sweet! ... I love how when I travel on vacation, one of my first (if not the first) thought is: "Any races in the area?" lol You plan your first ever trip to Europe not to go sight seeing, but to participate in a Tough Mudder......

You might be a runner if you're not confused by the question "What's your favorite gu?"
That's a good one...because I have no idea!0 -
you might be a runner if...
If people ask what happens if it rains during a race, you smartly tell them, "You get wet."
YES! Love this!!!0 -

You might be a runner if you want someone to pause your Garmin if they find you passed out 0

You might be a runner if...Your blisters have blisters but don't slow you down!0 -

ROFL!!!! YES!!0 -
You might be a NEW runner if a group of your "jogging" friends go out together... and after five minutes you realize that you left them way behind.
I don't even run that well, but apparently well enough that no one wants to go with me anymore. :laugh:
If you leave your inhaler at home, because you never need it during a run, just after...MAYBE.
If you're budgeting for new shoes instead of important things for your house.
If you see people running in Converse/Vans/basketball shoes and want to rob them to save them from themselves... :sad:0 -
Ha, so glad I'm not the only oneYou see someone running while you are riding in your car and wish it was you.

When you're looking for races in the area of an upcoming out-of-state family reunion and your mother-in-law calls to tell you about a 5K down the street from where you'll be.0

Didn't get a chance to read thru everything, so I don't know if this one was posted yet:
You might be a runner if you correct people when they get your milage wrong OR when people claim other races as what they are not.
(i.e. My boyfriend sometimes tells people that I ran 5 miles, when it was 8 & I am quick to correct him)
(i.e. and THIS one happened: Someone on FB ran a 10K and posted they were proud for completing their first marathon--I politely informed them that a marathon is actually 26.2 miles and a 10K is only 6.2)
And you might be a runner if you prefer to wear running leggings every where you go and try to find ways to "dress them up". My mom HATES when I do this and always makes me change lol They're just SO comfy!
And you might be a runner if you try to schedule your other workouts as ones that will help improve your running: i.e. doing short anaerobic workouts (I do Turbo Fire HIIT videos on my off-running days BECAUSE she says in the video that they make aerobic workouts easier) or strength training with a lot of core and lower body exercises.
And you might be a runner if your run is thrown off when your GPS tracker/Nike +/run tracker isn't working or stops or something.
PS: I am DEF the person who wears my running shoes ONLY to run in and after I retire them THEN will I wear them to other places, and I am one to be "jealous" of seeing people running when I'm driving wishing I could stop my car and get out and join them0 -
You are driving down the road and you see a path and you wish you were running on it.
You have a closet full of running shoes that are still in "good shape" by most standards, but have been retired due to mileage.
You know why they make a product called Body Glide.
You know every house in your neighborhood that has sprinklers.0 -
If, while running a half marathon, you twist your ankle 20 feet from the finish line and DEMAND that the EMT not put you on the gurney until AFTER you limp across the finish line.
(Yes, the EMT laughed at me, but he let me get my finisher's medal) 0 -
yep i know that one. soooooo want to go running.you get upset about injuries because they keep you from running, not because you have actually damaged your body.
You might be a runner if you have a set of earphones/ mp3 player just for running.
(and your tracks are divided into pumpy, run faster, long run and cool down...)0 -
You might be a runner if...
...you get up at 4:30 am to run because you have to be home before your husband leaves for work
...you ask for running clothes for your birthday
...you look for races in other cities because you're going to be in the area that particular weekend
I definately don't wear my running shoes for ANYTHING but running. And my running clothes now have their own drawer in my dresser! 0 -

LOL My husband thought I was crazy when I told him I feel this way:noway:0 -
Good idea.I was going to add something to this, but based off most of these posts, I've concluded I'm not a true runner
"If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run."
Aww shucks. I may need to print that out and hang it on my wall!
Learn it. Know it. Live it.
I LOVE THIS!!! I need to print and paste everywhere. My desk, my RR mirror! Amazing!!!
I haven't run my first 5K yet but I have more sports bras and more workout clothing and shoes than I do work clothes and shoes...LOL! :laugh:0 -

You might be a runner if you see this picture and get excited to run the hills.....
TOTALLY!
You might be a runner if you look for clothes on sale and think- "that'd be a great shirt/shorts for running on a cool day"
You might be a runner if you wash clothes 3 times a week so you can wear your favorite shirt out for the next run0 -

Great quote!0 -
Hahha- you might be a runner IF, you set the trip thingy on your car when you're driving down what you think a good running route would be to see how many miles you could get outta it!
Lmao-totally have done this
Too funny, same here, lol
